Definitions

  • the invention relates to a treatment machine for swing top bottles with a plurality of turntables arranged in series in the transport direction of the bottles, to and from which the bottles are transported via conveyors and entry and exit stars, the turntables being rotatably controlled receiving places for the bottles and functional elements for aligning the bottles and have the clip fasteners placed and tensioned.
  • the receiving places of a single turntable are each assigned different functional elements for aligning, putting on the stopper plug and closing the swing stopper.
  • Such a capping machine is complex and, because of the functional elements used one after the other at the individual receiving places, does not have a high throughput.
  • the bottles pass through two bottle carriers arranged one behind the other and designed as a turntable, the two bottle carriers being connected to one another via a conveyor designed as a conveyor belt.
  • the conveyor belt serves an operator as an inspection station for checking the bottles to see if they are sealed and the bottles are properly sealed. Closures identified as defective are sorted out. Even such a capping machine does not have a high throughput. In addition, the use of an operator at the inspection site is undesirable for various reasons.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a treatment machine for swing top bottles, in particular a capping machine, which has a high throughput.
  • the particular advantages of the invention are that, on the one hand, by dividing the various phases when closing a swing top bottle onto a turntable and maintaining the rotational position once determined, high throughput is achieved with relatively little effort. Because of the removal of faulty bottles after each treatment phase, it is ensured that faulty bottles in the subsequent turntable cannot cause any malfunctions.
  • the capping machine is combined with a labeling machine in such a way that the outlet star of the third rotary table forms the label of the inlet star of the rotary table, the outlet star and the rotation-controlled receiving positions of the rotary table of the labeling machine for taking over the bottles and maintaining them Are set up.
  • the particular advantages are that the otherwise usual alignment in the labeling machine can be omitted.
  • the bottles found to be defective are preferably brought together.
  • the conveyors for the bottles to be discharged open into a common main conveyor.
  • the invention provides that the first rotary table with its functional elements for aligning the bottles has a cam-controlled rotary plate and a cam-controlled centering head between each for each receiving position and the turntable, the bottle can be axially clamped, a non-rotatable, curve-controlled bell, which can be put over the bottle head, into which the bottle head with its clip closure can be positively locked in two predetermined rotary positions offset by 180 o , and one of which is against the clip of the clip has controllable plunger, so that when the bell is disengaged, the bracket dodges in one of the two rotational positions and in the other the bottle is rotated over the bracket.
  • This configuration of the invention makes it possible to bring the bottle into the desired rotational position. If the bottle is already in the correct rotary position after the first 180 o rotation, then it remains in this rotary position even after the bell has been lifted off because the plunger cannot perform any rotary movement on the bottle. However, if this rotary position is still offset by 180 o to the desired rotary position, the plunger rotates and when the bell is replaced and rotated again by at least 180 o , the bottle rotates until it engages in the desired rotary position .
  • each location of the intermediate star between the first and the second rotary table a cam-controlled abutment, which can be brought up to the bottle head, for the diametrically opposite legs of the bracket and thus cooperating pressers which can be piloted by a control cam from the opposite side of the abutment are provided.
  • the abutment should carry a pressure element for the bottle stopper, which in the cases where the Stopper does not rest on the bottle, but protrudes due to a jamming of the clip closure, is pressed against the bottle.
  • a cam-controlled lifting element is assigned to each receiving location of the first turntable, with which the clip closure is inserted into one for its own Verification by the testing facility suitable position can be raised.
  • the bottles identified as defective in the area of the intermediate stars and the discharge star can be discharged using the same means.
  • the curve control for the holding elements of the intermediate stars and the discharge star which are in particular formed as clamps, has two curves running alongside one another with different control functions for a convertible engagement member in the area of the transfer between a rotary table and the respective star and the conveyor for bottles to be discharged, Both of which cause the holding element to close at the moment of transfer to the star and one to open the holding element in the area of the conveyor and the other to open it in the area of the following turntable, and for the changeover of the engaging element a control element which can be controlled by the test device a stationary actuator behind the conveyor is arranged in front of the transfer area and for the resetting, a scanning element of the engagement member being assigned to the actuators.
  • the second rotary table with its functional elements for Place the stopper on the bottle head on a cam-controlled fork, the prongs of which grip the bracket of the clip on the side next to the stopper and transfer it to a position above the bottle head and at a distance from the bottle head, in which a driven alignment wheel is placed on it can be placed that has in its periphery recesses that are smaller than the smooth end face of the plug.
  • a deflector aligned on the closure plug on the bottle head is arranged in such a way that, when the bottles are being transported, closure plugs which have not been properly placed on it are thrown off and that the test device which responds to the closure plugs is arranged behind the deflector in the transport direction of the bottles.
  • the clamp in the intermediate star conveys the bottle to the next turntable or places it on the conveyor to discharge defective bottles.
  • the rotary table with its functional elements for tensioning the clip fasteners at each receiving location has a cam-controlled pressure element acting on the tensioning element of the clip fastener in the closure and a spring-loaded pressure element acting on the clip of the tensioned clip closure in the opening direction, the action of the pressure elements is coordinated with the shackle closure in such a way that the pressure element effective in the opening direction is still effective when the pressure element active in the closing direction is no longer effective.
  • the pressure elements are preferably carried by a common carrier, which is controlled by the curves in the axial direction of the bottles of the bottles, the axially offset for the coordination of the effectiveness of the two pressure elements.
  • the holding elements in the third turntable are realized in that a cam-controlled clamping and support element which can be placed on the front of the closure plug is provided at each receiving location.
  • the invention further relates to a method for closing swing top bottles, which are transported via rotary tables and stars arranged in a line one behind the other and are aligned and closed in their rotational position, the swing top bottles being discharged with faulty or improperly fitted stopper caps or improperly tightened swing tops will.
  • the invention consists in that the rotational position of the bottles aligned at the beginning of the transport path during the entire transport over the transport path consisting exclusively of three rotary tables and stars is maintained, in the first turntable only the alignment of the bottles, in the second turntable only the fitting of the closure plugs and in the third turntable only the tightening of the clip closures and after each treatment (aligning, fitting, tightening) a check takes place and depending on this Test result the incorrectly aligned bottle or the bottle with an improper stopper or improperly fitted stopper, or the bottle with an improperly tightened closure is ejected in the area of the following star.
  • the bottles are transported past an ejector, which ejects improper stoppers.
  • the swing top bottles are labeled immediately after closing.
  • the flip-top bottles are placed on the turntable of a labeling machine over the outlet star of the turntable, in which the flip-top closures are stretched, while maintaining their rotational position.
  • the test results previously obtained can be used to control the label transfer to the bottles.
  • the labeling machine is activated after each treatment in such a way that a label is only released for transfer if the receiving space on the turntable that passes the labeling station is occupied by a bottle.
  • the transfer of the test results is possible because the rotary tables and the stars are driven in terms of their location are linked so that it can be tracked over the entire transport route to the labeling station whether or not there is a bottle at the labeling station in the case of a planned label transfer. If there is no bottle here, the label box is designed in a known manner in such a way that the removal and transfer elements cannot transfer a label.
  • U-shaped closure bottles are conveyed in series to a first inlet star 2 via a conveyor 1 designed as a belt. From this first inlet star 2, the bottles pass via a second inlet star 3 to a first bottle carrier 4 designed as a turntable. In this first turntable 4, the bottles are aligned by rotation with respect to the position of the clip closure. If the desired turning position has been reached, for example with a locking bracket pointing towards the center of the turntable, then the bottle becomes held non-rotatably and maintains this rotational position during further treatment.
  • the bottles are checked by a testing device 5 to determine whether they are in their correct rotational position and whether the clip closure has a stopper with a rubber seal.
  • the bottles, which were found to be flawless pass through an intermediate star 6 onto a second bottle carrier 7 designed as a turntable while maintaining their rotational position, while the bottles, which were not found to be flawless, are discharged by moving them from the intermediate star 6 to a Band trained conveyor 8 are given.
  • the contents of the bottle are made to foam by injecting water into the open bottle and the air is thereby removed from the bottle.
  • the stopper is placed on the head of the aligned bottle. Closure plugs that are not properly placed are pushed off the bottle head at the end of the transport path of the turntable 7.
  • a test device 9 arranged at the end of the transport path checks whether the closure plugs are properly placed or not. Depending on this test result, the bottles that are found to be perfect are transferred to a third bottle carrier 11 designed as a turntable, while maintaining their rotational position, via a second intermediate star 10, while the bottles that are not found to be perfect are transferred to a conveyor 12 designed as a belt.
  • the locking bracket In the third rotary table 11, the locking bracket is stretched. Locking bracket with which there is insufficient tension can be applied, the outlet of the turntable 11 are supplied relaxed. A test device 14 arranged at the outlet checks whether the locking brackets are tensioned or not. Only the bottles with properly tensioned locking brackets reach a labeling machine 15 via a third intermediate star 13 while maintaining the rotational position, while the bottles with improperly tensioned locking brackets are placed on a conveyor 16 designed as a conveyor belt.
  • the labeling machine 15 has the usual structure with a bottle carrier 18 designed as a turntable and one or two labeling stations 19, 20. Since the bottles are taken over by the labeling machine in a certain rotational position, there is no need to realign them in the turntable 18. Depending on whether the front or back label is attached first, it may be necessary to turn the bottle 180 o . After labeling, the bottles arrive at a conveyor 22 designed as a belt via an outlet star 21. If a labeling machine 15 is not provided, the conveyor 22 connects to the star 13.
  • the conveyors 8, 12, 16 can be operated by means of brackets depending on the test result.

  • the bottle 30 can be axially clamped between the turntable 31 and the centering head 32.
  • Each turntable 31 is assigned a cam-controlled gear which consists of a gear transmission 33, a crank 34, an engagement member 35 and a fixed, flat groove curve 36. When the turntable 4 is rotated, the crank 34 is pivoted as a function of the course of the groove curve 36 and the turntable 31 is thus rotated.
  • the centering head 32 is supported by an axially displaceable rod 37, on which a bush 41 is slidably seated between a fixed stop 38 and a spring 40 supported on an abutment 39.

  • the bottle 30 is axially clamped in this way, the clamping force being limited due to the interposed spring 40.
  • the control cam 51 takes effect and lowers the bell 44. If the bottle 30 is not accidentally in one of two possible rotational positions in which the legs 46a of the closure bracket 46 are aligned with the guide slots 45, the lower edge of the bell 44 sits on the legs 46a.
  • the curve 36 causes an at least 180 o rotation of the rotary table 31.
  • the bottle 30 makes with this rotational movement, until the leg 46a in the guide slots 45 of the biased by the spring 49 engage bell 44 (Fig.4,5). From this moment on, the turntable 31 executes its remaining rotary movement with slip relative to the bottle 30. After this rotary movement has ended, the bell 44 is raised again by the control cam 41. After the release of the legs 46a, the tappet 53 is moved by the control cam 56 against one of the two side legs 46a (FIGS. 6, 7). If the bottle 30 is in the position shown in FIG. 6, the closure bracket 46 dodges the plunger 53.

  • the bottles 30 are fed via the intermediate star 6 either to the second rotary table 7 or to the conveyor 8. If the bottles 30 are fed to the turntable 7, this is done while maintaining the aligned rotational position into which the bottles 30 were brought in the first turntable 4.
  • a cam-controlled clamp 70 is assigned to each receiving location of the intermediate star 6. The two clamp arms of the clamp 70 are coupled to one another for actuation by means of a segment toothing.
  • the clamp 70 is connected via a shaft 71 to a crank 72, which engages with an engagement member 73 in a stationary flat curve, which consists of a lower groove curve 74 and an upper groove curve 75 (FIG. 9). While the lower groove curve 74 determines the control movement of the clamp 70 in the event that a bottle 30 which has been taken over is to be fed to the rotary table 7 the upper groove curve 75 controls the clamp 70 when a bottle is to be fed to the conveyor 8. Therefore, the latter groove curve 75 only needs to extend in the transfer area.
